Queen Elizabeth II and Duke of Edinburgh visit Gloriana, the new Royal Row Barge for the first time, at Greenland Pier on the Thames in London's Docklands. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Picture date: Wednesday April 25, 2012. The 94-foot vessel, decorated with gold leaf and ornately carved, harks back 200 years to when kings and queens travelled by water in opulent style. It will be one of the star attractions in this summer's Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant - a 1,000-strong flotilla of boats with the Queen and the Duke travelling at its heart.

The Queen began a day of visits to Docklands and Greenwich by naming a Royal barge at a rain-hit and windy Greenland Pier.
